Garry Monk has insisted he has had no contact from rivals eyeing up Wilfired Bony – and reiterated his claim Swansea City have no plans to cash-in on their World Cup star.

Bony is ready to shine for the Ivory Coast in Brazil after his 25-goal season with the Swans made him one of the most talked-about players in this summer's transfer window.

Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Everton, West Ham and Newcastle are among the Premier League clubs to be linked with him while overseas outfits including German giants Borussia Dortmund are also thought to be interested in the powerhouse 25-year-old.

But the Swans have long maintained that they want to hold onto the striker they signed for a record £12m from Vitesse Arnhem a year ago, slapping a minimum £25m price tag on his head.

And Monk has insisted the club's viewpoint hasn't changed after revealing there have been no conversations with rivals for the Liberty hero.

Swans boss Monk said: “There have been lots of stories, but we've had absolutely zero contact from anyone about Wilf.

"And the fact is that as a club, we don't care anyway.

"We don't want to lose Wilf. We want him to stay with us and for him to be part of our future.

"And the fact is that he is under contract. He is our player so it will be down to us to decide whether he stays or not.

“There is always going to be speculation about someone who scored as many goals as Wilf did last season.

"It's a part of football that when a player does well, he will be linked with other clubs.

"But Wilf is our player, so all the speculation doesn't matter."

Swansea have made moves for other forwards already this window with bids lodged for Standard Liege's Michy Batshuayi and FC Twente's Dutch Under 21 star Luc Castaignos but the club are relaxed over their hunt for extra firepower.

And it is understood that if they were to land another striker it would not be pre-empting the potential sale of Bony as they look to boost their options in attack.
